I need to fertilize to day. I am wayyy behind on that. especially my sole tomato plant. I am really excited that it is doing well in it's little round greenhouse pot. The cage I built is about 36" tall so it should be okay for the rest of the summer. I can almost taste the tomato, cheese, lettuce sandwich with salt and pepper.

I had some tomato plants ready to transplant into the raised bed that previously held garlic. The raised bed on the left side of the image has a couple of cucumber and zucchini plants that are taking their sweet time growing. Moving beyond the two raised beds is another shorter raised bed containing a mix of mint, flowers and veggies.
(oops, since they're not veggies I edited out the two pictures of my hibiscus and moved them over to the all things gardening forum)

Sandy - I saw a "Gardening Australia" segment showing corn salad planted in the fall. The description sounded enticing. Is there a good variety to try?
